This article explains that the COBOL Profiler tracks CPU time rather than elapsed wall clock time. Problem: Does the Profiler keep track of elapsed (wall clock) time? When using the Profiler to measure performance, I see that the total time it reports is less than the total elapsed time for the program, based on the time of day. Resolution: The COBOL profiler does not keep track of elapsed (wall clock) time, instead it tracks CPU time. Several sources of elapsed time will be left out of a profiler report: it does not keep track of time waiting for user input, neither does it track time when the process has spawned a child and is waiting for the child to return, nor does it report elapsed time in calls to databases. Attached to this Knowledgebase article is a demo useful for testing Profiler's behavior. The demo tests Profiler when: Waiting for user input in a COBOL program When a CPU-intensive C routine is called When COBOL calls "SYSTEM" using a sleep comma

Good Morning  I am getting misleading TIMEOUT Message. What I am doing:  I have transaction, run 24*7*365, calls COBOL program which in turn calls API using RMNet. Initially, when transaction is started RESPONSE-STATUS from RMNet functions [NETINIT, HttpSetConnectTimeout, HttpSetTimeout, HTTPPOST]  is 0. And NetGetError gave Message = "no error, don't panic!".   After sometime RESPONSE-STATUS from RMNet functions is 0. But at same time, NetGetError gave Message = "Timeout was reached".  Response is proper but getting misleading message. Using CONNECITON TIMEOUT =1 sec and RESPONSE timeout = 1 SEC. Am I doing something wrong ? Something missed in coding.  Log INITIALLY 20210921-07063002 ENDPOINT=http://xxx:nnnn/performapicall20210921-07063002 RESPONSE CODE FOR NETINIT=00020210921-07063002 RESPONSE MESSAGE FOR NETINIT=no error, don't panic!===> from NetGetError20210921-07063002 HTTPSETCONNECTTIMEOUT=00020210921-07063002

Hi - I need a help to locate copybook version used in RM/COBOL obj modules. Problem :  My platform maintained 2 version of  same copybook.  Ex: Folder#1     Copybook:-  C1.CPY Ex: Folder#2     Copybook:-  C1.CPY I have list [cannot be trusted] which tell me to call shell#1 [using Folder#1] to compile or sell#2 to compile[Folder#2] for a program. Mostly, I need to find once start working in a program. I have listing file that also cannot be trusted.  I have huge number of programs to be compiled. Is it possible to find out any information from load  or some other way  like generating listing from COBOL load? #RMCOBOL

Some of the JSON I have to parse has the same tag names for different segments.  For example [{"id":10,"order_id":105,"product_id":137,"product_options":[{"id":8,"option_id":24... where "id" occurs twice.  Is there some technique with the NAME OF/IS phrase that will allow me to give these two tags different names?  Or any other ideas other than manipulating each context-specific "id" to rename them to two different names? I am at release 10.4#extend#AcuCobol

Good morning: I am having this error "Error invoking unauthorized copy of runtime. Semaphore function error (Loc 809)." when I run a series of routines, the problem is that some days it runs fine without errors and others it begins to give this error. Anyone have any idea why? I don't really have stability in the process. Thanks in advance.

I would like to create a website in which our clients can download bank statements going as far back as a year. I know that Visual COBOL has a ‘Web Application Development’ capabilities. Can anyone please provide resources (demos, video tutorials etc.) and how to go about in undertaking this project?  Thanks, in advance.

Hi allIn a thin client environment i need to print a report with no prompt.So before the calling of "@[DISPLAY]:AcuBenchPrintExecWBBPrint" I move the name of the desired printer in the ACU-PRINTER-NAME parameter (with a X"00" at the string's end) but the print job goes always to the default printer and not the one I want.I read printer's name by WIN$PRINTER routine.I work with Acu 7.0.Testing not in a thin client environment worked fine. I appreciate any help. Criss.

Hi everybody I made a simple .NET control that incapsulate a WebView2 browser from Microsoft. Those are the steps I did: Build the library as .NET dll file Tested the library using it in a WindowsFrom project: it works (events are fired and handled) Used NetDefGen utility to create the COBOL definition for the .NET library Made a simple COBOL program that uses the control Copied all the needed dll in the same directory the acuthin.exe is Created the NetEvents.ini file in the same directory Throw Thin-Client a run the COBOL program The control itself seems to work: The control is rendered in the window I can set any public property of the .NET control and it works I can inquire any public property of the .NET control and I have it There is only a thing that doesn't work: COBOL program doesn't handle any event. Using the debug, I see the code never pass through the event procedure of the .NET control. What can I do? The Thin-Client runtime is 10.2.1 and hosted in a SLES server. The

We have updated our servers to Windows 2019. In this process we had to re-add the licenses for Micro Focus Net express. We are now getting on a couple servers a error showing the license is expired. When we check the license it shows Full License. Is there something that we can change to make sure the full license sticks and does not intermittingly go away and come back? Our version is 5.116.0022.

Environment ACUCOBOL-GT 10.3.0, 10.3.1 and 10.4.0All Operating Systems  Problem Compilation may hang using the following command-lines:ccbl32 --netexe TestNetToCobol.cblccbl32 --netdll TestNetToCobol.cbl Using previous versions, such as 10.2.1, the following message may appear instead:ccbl32 --netdll TestNetToCobol.cbl.NET Version Not Found: --netdll  Resolution When using certain types in the Linkage Section of a COBOL program, and compiling with --netdll or --netexe, the compiler would fail to produce the .Net assembly. The types that would cause the failure are types thatwould be cast to unsigned .net types, including handles.

Network Shares can be fast when only one user is working with a Vision file, especially when data is only being READ and not changing. This is because Windows Shares have been optimised for this kind of situation and a lot of caching happens.  AcuServer is faster when more than one user starts working with the same file. It delivers consistent results despite the number of users.  The following tests show that Network Shares are very fast with one user, but as the number of users increase, the performance of Network Shares dramatically decreases. AcuServer results are not as fast with a single user but remain consistent as the number of users increase.  NOTE: These tests may not reflect exactly how other programs works but the general trend should still apply. Concurrent tests should be performed with other programs/setups to see how AcuServer compares to Network Shares as numbers of users increase.  Tests done with AcuCOBOL-GT extend 10.4.0 on Window

Environment Visual COBOL for Visual Studio 2019 V7.0 Patch Update 1 Problem How can I call a native .DLL written in COBOL or some other language from a managed .NET COBOL application? Resolution The attached zip file contains a Visual Studio solution with a native COBOL project called testpinvoke and a managed .NET COBOL project called ManClient.Open the solution testpinvoke.sln in Visual Studio and Rebuild Solution. Both compiled executables will be output to the debug folder of the ManClient project. ManClient is set as the Startup project so you can start debugging through it using the F11 key or by selecting Step Into from the Debug menu item. This program will demonstrate calling a native COBOL .DLL using P/Invoke in two distinct ways. The first way uses a standard COBOL CALL statement and COBOL data types. The second way uses a C# style P/Invoke using the DLLImport attribute in order to create a

I have a version 9.00 Relativity Catalog and I am not finding a way to upgrade this catalog to the current version.  Is there a way to upgrade the version 9.00 Relativity Catalog to version 12.17? or do I have to create a new Relativity Catalog? #Relativity

I don't know if it's just me but I find it very difficult to read the messages in the Net Express and Visual COBOL forums. Is there a possibility that a darker colour could be used? Probably difficult if black is standard but maybe use a bold version? Thanks

Anyone have this problem with Acubench? I did a uninstall, rebooted the server, then did a install again.

I'm evaluating Relativity and I'm trying to find my way with the tool. In Relativity DBA, I create a new data source (File --> Create New Data Source). I choose the Micro Focus Relativity Data Manager driver. Inside the DSN Window, I click on "Create catalog" and choose a name for my file. When I click OK, I get a "Verify Catalog Error" message: "Internal Error -4160". Then I get "Catalog filename.rcg could not be verified because of an internal error". I also tried it on a virtual machine, same result, except I have Internal error -4144. I executed Process Monitor from Sysinternals on both workstations and the only thing I see, it's that it's looking for the "HKLM\\Software\\WOW6432Node\\Micro Focus\\Relativity\\RELDBMS.INI\\CRDM" key in the Windows Registry, which is missing. I don't know if it's related to the problem. Thank you for your help!#RelativityODBC
